Grease Shield: Soak in hot, soapy water. If needed, use a piece of
steel wool or a stiff brush to clean. Rinse under running water. Dry with
a soft cloth or towel.

Thermocouple: In order to maintain proper temperature control of your
grill, it's important to keep the Thermocouple clean. (The
Thermocouple is located in the back left-hand corner of the cooking
chamber). Use a dampened piece of #2 or #3 steel wool to remove
food debris and smoke from the Thermocouple. Clean it so that the
shiny metal is visible on all sides. When cleaning, be careful so that
you do not bend or break the Thermocouple.

Warmer/Smoker Box: Remove the stainless steel grate and grease
tray. Both can be soaked in hot, soapy water, or hot water and
ammonia. Clean, then rinse with running water and wipe dry. For the
interior of the box and underside of the lid, remove smoke residue
using a sponge with hot soapy water. Wipe down all surfaces with a
damp (not dripping) towel. Use a soft cloth or towel to dry.

CLEANING EXHAUST LOUVERS

Achieving and maintaining proper air flow in your MAK is paramount
to getting optimum performance from your grill. We strongly
recommend that you clean all louvers inside and out-at least once
every (6) six months. If you cook a lot of greasy cuts of meat, or do
expensive smoking in your 2 Star, you should increase the frequency
of cleaning the louvers.

Use mild dish detergent and hot water or degreaser to clean the
louvers. We recommend using a scrubbie to assist in helping you
clean the louvers. You want to clean both the inside and outside of
each set of louvers at the back of the cooking chamber and in the
Warmer/Smoker box.

Once cleaned, take a damp (not dripping) cloth and go over the
cleaned louvers to clean off any soap or degreaser residue. Repeat
this a couple of times to fully remove any residue.

To clean the Warmer/Smoker box louvers, remove the Quick Change
Grease Pan components and the Triangular Shaped Grease Shield to
gain access to the louvers on the right hand side of the barbecue
body.

Open the Warmer/Smoker box and clean the louvers inside the box on
both the left and right hand sides of the box.

CARE AND CLEANING OF STAINLESS STEEL:

For more difficult cleaning situations, use only a white or pink
scrubbie. For best results clean using a left to right motion. Finish by
wiping down the cleaned areas with a damp, soft cloth. Wipe dry using
a soft towel or cloth.

If your barbecue body becomes stained with grease, sauce or food
drippings, wait until the grill is completely cold before attempting to
clean it. Try using mild dish detergent and hot water first. Otherwise,
use a degreaser to help dissolve the grease and drippings. After
cleaning, dry the areas with a damp towel or soft cloth, then dry using
a soft towel or cloth.

NOTE: Many degreasers are caustic, and will damage powder coated
surfaces. Take care to only use these types of degreasers on the
stainless steel on your grill. If the manufacturer's label recommends
wearing gloves when using their product, that's a good indication
that it is caustic. We do not recommend using oven cleaner on your
grill surfaces.
